hi, for now smbiosgetters and the gui are not compatible with Xcode4 
(see readme), you can use smbiospatcher as an alternative to 
smbiosgetters, but for now no gui with xcode4 sorry ....

feel free to report any other bug that you may find with xcode4.

hi,
for now i haven't found a suitable solution, but:

if you still have a SL partition with xcode3 installed, just open 
the xcode3 app (from Lion), it will ask you if you want to update 
java, and voila ...

if not, and if you have a processor > to a C2D you can try to 
search all occurrences of -march=pentium4 and change them by 
-march=core2 , you can also add those features -msse3 -mssse3 
-msse4.1 -msse4.2 -msse4 -msse4a depending on the features that your 
cpu really have 

it work for me at least with smbiosgetters 

don't forget that you can build smbiosgetters and the gui with 
xcode3 and the rest with xcode4, it will work fine :-) ...

i have attached smbiosgetters and gui compiled with Xcode3

thanks its work.
but another question i comiled the latest source but i can see any 
resolution module in sym directory?!!!

Comment 7 by Cosmosis Jones, Sep 15, 2011

cparm.. the trunk compiles fine on xcode 4.1 

what is in your branch that doesn't work??

Comment 8 by armel cadet-petit, Sep 15, 2011

glad to hear that it works, but please tell me what you have done 
exactly, have you changed -march=pentium4 to -march=core2, have you 
used the xcode3 app from a lion partition, or have you used the 
pre-compiled modules that i have attached ? 


for resolution module, i have deactivated it simply because it don't 
work for most of us, but if you want to test it just add 
"Resolution" in the file i386/modules/Makefile, as follow 
(and don't forget to report any success or failure ;) ):

-BEFORE-:
.
.
.
VPATH = $(OBJROOT):$(SYMROOT)

# The order of building is important.
SUBDIRS = KernelPatcher GUI GraphicsEnabler HPET USBFix Memory 
Networking ACPICodec ACPIPatcher NetbookInstaller CPUfreq Keymapper 
RamDiskLoader HibernateEnabler SMBiosPatcher SMBiosGetters 
YellowIconFixer HelloWorld SeaBios
all embedtheme tags debug install installhdrs:
.
.
.


-AFTER-:

VPATH = $(OBJROOT):$(SYMROOT)

# The order of building is important.

hi cosmo, 

the only problem with Xcode4.x and my branch is that the 
smbiosgetters and the gui modules just stop without any error or 
warning:

i suspect a ring 0 error, 
or a allocation error (in this case maybe i should try to implement 
heap allocation),
or interrupt issue (i tried implemented an interrupt handler to see 
if i can see an error, but it seems that my implementation don't 
work for now)
or maybe some symbols shared by /boot can't be found by those 
modules

for now i have no idea why those modules don't work when built with 
xcode4.x

thanks Cparm
for GUI and smbiosgetters i use the precompiled one that you posted 
and it work.
for resolution after adding the path to make file it compiled and 
now work perfect.
---------------------------------------------------------
for p-state and c-state i am using the ssdt table but when add 
generat c and p state to org.chameleon.... it generat incorrect 
value my hight cpu freq is 2394(266*9)but the loader set highest 
p-state to 2128(8*266).
thanks .
---------------------------------------------------------
and a question when add UpdateACPI flag, it update table to acpi 4?

do you use acpicodec or acpipatcher ?

can you upload a complete bdmesg ?

about UpdateACPI : yes :) , credit goes to my friend Andy Vandijck
